Selena Gomez Sobs Over Mass Deportations in Since-Deleted Video: ‘All My People Are Getting Attacked’ | Video

Selena Gomez posted – and then deleted – a video of her sobbing over the mass deportations that have taken place in President Donald Trump’s first week back in office as part of his crackdown on illegal immigration.

“I’m sorry,” the “Emilia Perez” star said in a caption on a video she uploaded to social media Monday. A Mexican flag emoji appeared on the screen, as Gomez is of Mexican and Italian descent.

“All my people are getting attacked, the children. I don’t understand,” Gomez continue. “I’m so sorry, I wish I could do something but I can’t. I don’t know what to do. I’ll try everything, I promise.”

She then took to social media again with a second message on her Instagram stories, saying, “Apparently it’s not OK to show empathy for people.”

Gomez’s words come after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested 956 people in a nationwide raid. Per 2024 data from Pew Research, foreign-born population in the U.S. has reached a record number of 47.8 million in 2023, which is an increase of 1.6 million from 2022 and is now the largest jump in more than 20 years.
